New Report Finds States Have Deprived Schools of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Since 2016 WASHINGTONβ€”Forty-two states devote a smaller share of their economies to their K-12 public schools than they did 20 years ago.

States have drained K-12 funding and it is hurting students. This new report makes it clear that instead of diverting taxpayer funds to vouchers and privatization, states must redouble their effort and commit to investing in the schools that 90% of kids attend. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Christ v Anti-christ

Christ fed the poor
Anti-christ cut off SNAP

Christ healed the sick
Anti-christ makes Healthcare unaffordable

Christ loved the children
Anti-christ raped the children

Christ drove the money changers from the temple
Anti-christ sells them pardons.

1) March isn't even halfway over yet.
2) ICE activity has been trickling upward since last week, with more sightings yesterday and already this morning.

This story just didn't need to be published? Maybe they'll surge and maybe they won't, but reporters offer no insight one way or the other.

For the 900,000 women in Oregon who changed their name after marriage, the need to provide documentation to re-register costs time, money and will disenfranchise eligible voters from casting a ballot. The SAVE act is voter suppression, pure and simple.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

Well trumps press conference was a disaster.
Tomahawks?
The war is super duper very complete?
Did Jared, Stephen Miller and Hegseth lie about the impending Iranian nuclear threat?
Is Trump trapped in his own web of lies?
The fact is
Trump killed a school full of children.
Trump lied to cover it up.

Brann says the administration's refusal to use some of the undisputedly legal ways to staff the NJ office could result in "scores of dangerous criminals" having their cases dismissed, but that it comes down to Trump simply not wanting to be countermanded.
